Today stigmatise an anniversary for our little web log – our hundredth post ! Since starting the web log about 8 months back on a insensate day in February – we never imagined how far it would total in such a little sentence . Our 100th billet also coincide with two other milestone – our 1000th follower to the web log and our 600th follower to Facebook .
The first few calendar week of the web log we spent writing and filling in a few Charles William Post from the previous year to provide the background for our little farm ’s story . After that , we settled into our current format of station 3x ’s a week ( Sunday - Tuesday- Friday ) about life story at the “ farm ” .

The preceding 8 months have been a good time for us . I never imagined how fun this journey to carve out our footling “ farm ” space would be – and document it with the blog has made it all the better . Our web log has really helped us to stay focused and working toward our dreams – order down in words and pictures our efforts to build up the farm . The web log is a great motivator on days when your tired and do n’t experience like you ’re accomplishing enough . When those days dispatch – sometimes we will just reflect back and read some of the old billet and speedily see that we are lento getting there . It serves as a great re - energizer for us to keep at it .
We really are more committed than ever to a more round-eyed approach to life and the farm , keep up the resource we go through , and being creditworthy for the solid food we eat on .
We have tried to integrate simplicity and responsibleness into every facet of “ The Farm ” as we lento operate on our dream . Our goals to be creditworthy for the majority of our own nutrient – and to re - use existing cloth and products as often as we can have aid us establish the farm at a fraction of the cost . At the same prison term – we require to show that it can be done in a agency that can be pleasing to the oculus – and without all of the stereotype that come with “ recycling and re = purposing ” .

We have been able to get in some Malus pumila and cherry red trees for our short woodlet . The hard part is expect the few year to in the end eat something from them !
There are a lot of exciting challenges ahead for the farm . More work and plantings to grow the garden , orchard and vineyard field . The building of a greenhouse from recycled windows . The induction of a Sensory Garden . And hopefully , at some point down the road , the process of project and build our house to go on the attribute .

Much like we do at the farm , we also thought this was a great time to simplify the blog . It did n’t take long to realise all of our posts conform to into the three category that we get laid most . The Farm , Food and our DIY building task .
Moving forward – we are going to remain with the 3 post - a - week format – and simplify it into a day for each category . In the coming weeks we will also organize all of our honest-to-god posts into those 3 categories , with connection on our side legal community to make them easygoing to find .
